This according to a CENTCOM press release. It hasn't hit the news yet, as far as I can tell, so i apologize for the headline, which is meant to clarify and distinguish.

1. I told you so

This wouldn't be happening were it not for foolish Bush Administration policy. This is another tragic consequence of failed Bush Administration policy.

2. UPDATE: 2 killed tonight (10/1) bringing a total to 3 for the day

Peter jennings reports the additional 2 killed on ABCNews

3. And of course that's not including the non-combat gunshot death . . .

. . . or the two soldiers who died in the jeep accident and subsequent recovery effort.

Frickin' awful.

5. "Bring 'em On" Bush gets his wish. Again. 111 dead since then.

176 dead since the Carrier Costume Party. Not counting Iraqis.

idiot Shrub can get away with this?...for What?--All for money!!
I am OUTRAGED EVERY TIME I hear another one or two or three died--
OUTRAGED!!
This is not what our troops are to be used for--occupying a country that has vast resources-
Forever they will fight for freedom from U.S. occupation--they will never stop- NEVER!-
We have no business there at all- that oil belongs to the Iraqis not the U.S. oil corporations.
